Woods sets return date

Tiger Woods is on course to play in next month's US Open following knee surgery.

Woods has only chipped and putted so far but the world number one is targeting a return to action at the Memorial Tournament in Ohio, which starts on May 29.

"The rehab is going well - I've been training hard," Woods told CNN. "I'm chipping and putting, I'm not doing anything beyond that. Hopefully I'll start hitting balls, start progressing soon and work my way up the bag."

The second major of the year takes place between June 12 and 15 at Torrey Pines.
